Pacific Palisades

Actor Kevin Dillon will not face assault charges following a scuffle with a group of teenagers in California last summer (14). The Entourage star became embroiled in an altercation with the youths outside a gas station in Pacific Palisades in July (14), after confronting them for allegedly harassing and taunting him.
Los Angeles police launched an investigation into the incident after one boy claimed he had suffered a fractured ankle as a result of being shoved to the ground by Dillon, but after reviewing security footage, officials at the City Attorney's office rejected the case in November (14), citing insufficient evidence, according to TMZ.com.
A representative for the actor, 49, has yet to comment on the case.

Bob Palmer, the legendary Hollywood publicist who led Sir Anthony Hopkins' successful Oscars campaign for The Silence Of The Lambs, has died, aged 85. Palmer, who also represented Faye Dunaway, David Soul and Dick Van Dyke among others, passed away at his home in Pacific Palisades, California on Monday (15Sep14).
Born in Alaska, he studied journalism in Los Angeles before becoming a theatre manager.
He was hired as director of publicity and advertising at United Paramount studios, where he helped create media campaigns for films like Sunset Boulevard, Shane and The Greatest Show on Earth.
After serving in the Korean War, Palmer returned to Hollywood and signed up as West Coast publicity director for ABC Radio, before becoming a publicist at ABC Television.
He also headed up publicity departments at Screen Gems and Universal.

Here's something that many will consider a terrifying fact: teenagers are having sex. While most films dance around the issues or romanticizes it, there are a few that have boldly depicted the sexual lives of very young people. This year, Gia Coppola may be joining the other directors on our list, as her debut film Palo Alto (starring James Franco and Emma Roberts) is hitting theaters soon. Coppola's film, based on a short story by Franco himself, will follow a group of unsupervised kids who turn to drugs and casual sex for entertainment. And while we look forward to this unique spin on the subject, we have to give it up to a few folks who did it first. Here are five unforgettable movies about the sex lives of kids.
It Felt Like Love
In Eliza Hittman's feature directorial debut we meet Lila and Chiara, we meet two friends coming of age in Brooklyn, New York. The film follows both girls as they chart out different paths to their first sexual experiences. But the film is especially interested in the performative aspects of youth and sexual identity. Lila is as fascinating a character as she is heartbreaking, and her attempts to either be the woman she is growing into or the woman she thinks the young boys around her want (boys who are also performing their own identities) are often so authentic they're uncomfortable. The influence of Catherine Breillat's Fat Girl weighs heavy on the film, but Hittman's unique, contemporary sensibility peers through. Unlike some other films on this list, It Felt Like Love attempts to be more honest than cautionary, even if that honesty makes us squirm.
S#x Acts
Johnathan Gurfinkel's intense Israeli drama centers on Gigli, the new girl looking to make a name for herself at school. A difficult film to endure at times, S#x Acts raises questions about sexual consent between teenagers. Gigli goes to greath lengths to gain popularity, and we watch as she pretends to be sexually uninhibited while often being taken advantage of or even raped on multiple occasions. Like many of these films, the focus is on these young people who seem to have little-to-no parental supervision. But the story gets even more interesting when parents get involved, either by choosing to do something, or choosing to look the other way.
Fat Girl
If you took any course on feminism or film in college, here's hoping you got acquainted with Catherine Breillat. No stranger to controversial pieces (her debut feature, A Real Young Girl, was banned until 1999), Fat Girl stunned audiences with its stark depictions of young sexuality and violence. With a powerful final scene that intertwined both, Breillat's film certainly had its shocking moments. But some of the best scenes showed the conversations between two sisters (Anaïs and Elena), and offered up two very unique views on love and sex.
Havoc
Anne Hathaway went from The Princess Diaries to this unbelievably indie tale (directed by Barbara Kopple) of super rich kids with nothing but time on their hands in the Pacific Palisades. Alongside Bijou Philips and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Hathaway played Allison Lang, a bored high school student who heads to the hood to find trouble and a crowd more interesting than her own. Havoc is as much about race and class in America as it is about sex, but all of these issues collide in a powerful way as Allison learns that crossing invisible borders is much more complicated than it looks.
Kids
Written by Spring Breakers director Harmony Korine, there can be no discussion about kids having sex in the movies without Kids, the movie. Larry Clark's directorial debut took on sexuality, AIDS, drugs, and New York City in a film that introduced many of us to Chloë Sevigny and Rosario Dawson. Clark unflinchingly presents his subjects as young, free (to a fault), destructive, cruel, and beautiful. He captures the innocence of youth even as it's being corrupted by the curiousity of youth, and an overwhelming desire to be accepted.

Former Xscape star-turned-U.S. reality TV favourite Kandi Burruss has wed producer Todd Tucker. The couple exchanged vows in Atlanta, Georgia on Friday (04Apr14).
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star confirmed the happy news to In Touch magazine, stating, "(It was) one of the best days of my life! I never imagined that I would marry my best friend. Todd’s been that to me. And to have just had the wedding of my dreams, it’s all been so beautiful."
The couple met in 2011 and became engaged in January, 2013. Kandi has one daughter, Riley, 11, from a previous relationship.
Friday was a big day for another Real Housewives star - former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong also got married in California.
The 42 year old wed attorney John Bluher, 52, in Pacific Palisades at sunset.
She told People magazine, "Today, John, (daughter) Kennedy and I became a family. I married my best friend and Kennedy's family circle became complete... I definitely believe the universe put John in my path for a reason. We were meant to be."
Armstrong's first marriage to husband Russell ended tragically in 2011 after he committed suicide following the pair's separation.

Rihanna has finally put her trouble-plagued Pacific Palisades, California mansion on the market five months after reportedly relocating to New York. The Diamonds hitmaker moved into what she thought was her dream home in December, 2012, but the place quickly became a living hell following a series of break-ins and burglaries.
Her former home is now on sale for a little under $15 million (GBP9.4 million), according to real estate site Trulia.com.
Rihanna has nothing but bad memories of her time at the estate - she was granted a permanent restraining order against a man accused of breaking into the pad in September (13).
Jonathan Whooper was charged with attempted burglary, vandalism and stalking after he was identified as the suspect who threw a chair through a glass door at the Pacific Palisades mansion to gain access.
Rihanna moved out of the home, which boasts seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, in October (13) and reportedly relocated to New York, where she now lives in a Soho penthouse in Manhattan.

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow helped her two children, Apple and Moses, serve as sidewalk entrepreneurs on Monday (06Jan14) - the Iron Man star looked on as the kids manned a lemonade stand in Pacific Palisades, California. Paltrow greeted neighbours as they purchased drinks and baked goods from her children.

Engaged stars Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy opened up their Pacific Palisades, California home for a wedding at the weekend (09Sat13), but not their own. The actress hosted the ceremony for her fiance's pal Thomas Kirk, who is the media manager for Bellamy's band Muse, and his bride Jaclyn Ferber.
The candlelit ceremony and reception was planned by wedding organisers from Bash, Please, who took over the front yard of Hudson and Bellamy's home, where the creative actress had set up a Teepee Lounge, full of pillows and blankets.
The hostess and her fiance have been engaged since 2011, but have yet to name the day for their wedding.

Baywatch star Alexandra Paul's legal spat with an obsessed fan has taken a bizarre twist - the woman has been granted a restraining order against the actress. Paul was given an order of protection against German national Nicole Albrecht in August (13) after accusing her of waiting at her house, leaving gifts at the home, and following her at a local pool.
The star agreed to drop the order in September (13) after Albrecht promised to avoid any further contact and to stay at least 50 feet (15 metres) away from the star at a gym they both use in Pacific Palisades, California.
However, it has now emerged Albrecht has bizarrely gained a restraining order against the actress, prohibiting the star from threatening, intimidating or stalking her after they clashed at a swimming pool in California last month (Oct13).
According to editors at TMZ.com, the star reportedly ordered the Albrecht to leave the area, but when she refused, Paul broke the terms of their agreement by coming too close to her during a heated exchange of words.
The German woman has since taken legal steps and a restraining order has been issued against Paul, according to the website.

R&B star Rihanna has been granted a permanent restraining order against a man accused of breaking into her Los Angeles home in September (13). Jonathan Whooper faces felony charges for attempted burglary, vandalism and stalking after he was identified as the suspect who threw a chair through a glass door at the singer's Pacific Palisades mansion.
He reportedly made several unwanted visits to Rihanna's house before he was confronted by security guards and arrested last month (Oct13).
Whooper, who claimed to be the Diamonds hitmaker's "future husband", was subsequently ordered to stay away from the star, and now the temporary ban has been extended for the next two years, reports TMZ.com.
Meanwhile, the suspect is set to undergo a mental evaluation to determine if he is fit to stand trial.
Rihanna, who is currently on tour, has since moved out of her troubled California pad and is preparing to relocate to New York, where reports suggest she hopes to settle down in a new Soho penthouse in Manhattan for $39,000 (£26,000) a month.
